Speaking as a Brit, and obviously having a shared consciousness with all Brits, I think it's safe to say the thing most likely to cause discomfort to us all in that trailer isn't the perceived melanin requirement of a particular role but the dropping of the "U" from honour.

It's a fucking travesty!

What’s a travesty is English cuisine and mingung dental hygiene.

It's Arthurian legend. It's White.

Stop making the excuse that "ITS FiCtIoNal So WhY dO yOu CaRe BiGoT?!"

Instead of martin luther. Are you fine with someone looking like adolf hitler being the next black panther?

Tell us, is it history or is it fiction?

Pick a side before you sound even more like an idiot.

all these Jogger and Kebab knights are literary inventions by writers who were almost 1,000 years removed from Arthurian times.

Not to mention Palamedes and Morien arent even the main 12 knights, its the equivalent of someone writing some obscure issues in DC comics and making up new minor characters who are all black or tranny.

Morien's father isn't even black, supposedly. He is white.

Not All the Knights of the Round Table Were White

The storytellers assumed we’d be sharp enough to pick up on their hints that Sir Morien was black. Turns out, we’re not

Pretty sure this isn't in the original stories, but is something the french, or possibly some other european mud people, added on because they were fags centuries later.

Saying the french version of english lore is canon is about as tarded as you can get if we gotta be honest.

A countries History/Legends/Mythos/Religion can fall into multiple catagories.

Are all tales about romulus and remus true?
What about stories of Leonidas?
What about any number of religious figures?

Why is it only white history/myths/legends/stories that have to be changed to include some "people of color" to make pretend like they actually added anything of worth to the worth. Like some how one token curryfuck would suddenly make the stories of king Arthur better?

For some historical figures, the color of their skin / race was an important part of what made that character historically relevant.

For example MLK and Hitler, if you have a black guy playing Hitler it will be a joke as one of the historical facts of hitler and ethos was aryan superiority, and you can not disentangle the two of them. The same way MLK, you can not dissociate his race/skin color with his history.

Fairy tales elements don't suffer from this. It makes zero difference to the Pinocchio story, that Geppetto would be player by a black actor.

"A countries History/Legends/Mythos/Religion can fall into multiple categories."

one actually happened (history) while the rest is made up garbage. You are forgetting that very important part.

Historical figures in which the skin color are not a part of the historical value can be represented by a multitude of actors.

For example a black actor can be casted as General Patton in a WW2 Historical piece, why because racial identity is not intrinsic to General Patton's story and historical significance.

It would be impossible to cast Abraham Lincoln as a black actor in a historical piece and not have the narrative fall apart.

Holy SHIT His Parents were not from INDIA.. BUT FROM Nairobi, Kenya, instead.

Holy fuck, this plot took a turn for the unexpected.

False. Geppetto cared for Pinocchio like a son

Meanwhile 75% of joggers run out on their kids

Maybe Geppeto was Sicilian.

I'm not going to convince you otherwise but, for the record, you're wrong. Unless you're descended from first nation you're about as American as you claim he isn't British, or English.

While I’m not disagreeing with your thoughts on the actor, I do with the other thought. America was a European name. American is specifically what these people, and people after the nation was officially recognized, should be called. They created the state and the term

That’s not to say Indians weren’t the longer term residents and don’t have rights to voice this fact. They can also claim the status American if they choose or not which is a difference most people can’t claim.
